But this problem was not a problem for Zhang Yan at all.
Zhang Yan walked into the Cartier store directly and was immediately greeted warmly by a clerk.
After he entered, Sun Min and Li Chuchu also approached and stood at the door of the store, watching Zhang Yan inside, browsing through the items in the display cases.
"Isn't that Zhang Yan? How could he come to a store like this?" Sun Min stretched her neck furtively, her face filled with doubt.
Li Chuchu thought for a moment, then immediately understood. She gritted her teeth and said, "This store sells women's jewelry. Zhang Yan must be here to buy something for that fox!"
"This bastard, who dares to treat me so rudely, is actually buying such an expensive gift for another woman."
However, as she thought more about it, a question arose in her mind. No, hadn't Zhang Yan's salary all these years been lent to Li Minghui by her? Where did he get the money to buy gifts for another woman?
Sun Min, however, disagreed. Standing at the door, she sneered disdainfully, "This is just some jewelry store. Zhang Yan, that worthless man, can he even afford anything good from here?"
She didn't lower her voice while speaking, and a lady carrying an LV bag happened to walk past them. When the lady was about to enter the Cartier store, she overheard Sun Min's comment.
The lady stopped abruptly and turned back to glance at Sun Min. Noticing that Sun Min looked like an ordinary middle-aged woman who appeared to sell low-cost goods, she immediately felt offended.
Being a Cartier member and a devoted fan of the brand, the lady was disgusted by the poor and ignorant woman calling her favorite jewelry brand "some miscellaneous store."
She rolled her eyes at Sun Min and said coldly, "Don't talk nonsense if you don't know what you're talking about. You're only embarrassing yourself."
"Cartier is a top international jewelry brand. A random piece of jewelry here starts at six figures. Some limited-edition pieces even sell for millions!"
"Can someone like you even afford this so-called 'miscellaneous' brand?"
Her words stunned both Sun Min and Li Chuchu.
Sun Min was left speechless, muttering, "My goodness, the jewelry here is this expensive?"
The lady scoffed disdainfully, "What a joke!" Then, without sparing another glance at them, she strode into the store to shop.
Sun Min and Li Chuchu both stood frozen in embarrassment, humiliated by the situation.
Sun Min's face flushed red, and she frowned, saying, "No way. If this jewelry is so expensive, can Zhang Yan really afford it?"
Li Chuchu pondered for a moment and replied, "He probably doesn't know how expensive the jewelry here is. After all, this brand is quite niche. We didn't know about it, so he likely doesn't either."
"That must be it!" Sun Min nodded in agreement, the embarrassment from earlier fading away. Her expression shifted to one of smug amusement. "He's probably about to be shocked by the prices and then run away in shame."
Li Chuchu thought Sun Min's reasoning made sense. She knew Zhang Yan's financial situation well.
Meanwhile, inside the store, Zhang Yan was unaware of the two women spying on him from outside. He was completely focused on selecting a gift for Shen Qing.
As a typical straight man, Zhang Yan found it difficult to pick the right piece of jewelry.
Just as he was scratching his head and considering asking the clerk for recommendations, the system finally extended a helping hand.
"Ding! The host is selecting a gift for his wife. The god-level option system is triggered:
1. Visit the Phoenix Gold store on the first floor and purchase a three-pound pure gold bracelet (Reward: Title—Zhenjin Straight Man).
2. Purchase the Trinity Series, a classic Cartier jewelry set that Shen Qing has been dreaming of—Rose Gold Bracelet (Reward: Two-hour shopping mall double rebate)."
The god-level selection system was truly amazing.
Not only did it solve the issue of finding the perfect gift for Shen Qing, but it also offered a double rebate for two hours! How could it get any better?
Zhang Yan silently chose the second option in his mind. He then looked up at the beautiful clerk who had been assisting him and asked, "Does your store carry the Trinity Series?"
The clerk's eyes lit up, and she quickly nodded. "Yes, we do. It seems you are familiar with our brand, sir. The Trinity Series is quite rare in this country, and very few people know about it."
"Coincidentally, we just received a set today. Please follow me, sir."
The clerk led Zhang Yan to the inner section of the store and pointed to an elegant display case. She said respectfully, "These are the bracelets from our Trinity Series."
"The Trinity Series is also known as the Three-Color Gold Series, comprising platinum, rose gold, and yellow gold. Each color holds a unique meaning—platinum represents friendship, rose gold symbolizes love, and yellow gold signifies loyalty. Together, they reflect the enduring strength of relationships and the pursuit of unwavering commitment."
"Which one would you like, sir?"
